It was a strong declaration of discontent among colonists with regard to the treatment they were receiving at the hands of the British.
Explanation:
The "Tea Party" was all about "taxation without representation." But that was just one of many issues Americans had with the King. Other British imposed laws, the Port Act, the Quartering Act, and the Administration of Justice Act, combined to bring about the revolution. If the tax of tea were the only obstacle to be overcome, it is unlikely a revolution would have happened as colonial leaders would likely have come to a resolution.
